Carissa Knight writes steamy contemporary romance with sharp banter, emotional depth, and found families who'd absolutely lie for each other in court. Her One Night Stand Club series is set in the Twin Ports of Minnesota and Wisconsin, where long winters, a certain very private nightclub, and a chaotic book club called the Dirty B's keep the drama-and the chemistry-running hot. Perfect for readers of Lucy Score, Elsie Silver, and Emily Rath, her books deliver slow-burn tension, swoon-worthy heroes who see their women clearly, and heroines who spend the first half of the book pretending they're fine and the second half discovering they don't have to be. Carissa lives in central Minnesota, where she writes by day and drinks coffee that's gone cold by afternoon, because that's what happens when you have a story running in your head.
